  1. The franchise has made a series of critical errors from key personnel decisions (Ehrhoff,Salo,Hodgson,Ballard,Booth,etc.) to the loss of draft picks culminating in the choice of coach as the crowning accomplishment.
  2. Jim Nill as GM works for me.
  3. Successful businessman sell at the top and this is what looks to be the worst year since the 90's: GPG-28th in the league PP%-27th in the league Team shooting % -29th in the league
  4. Unfortunately,he mismanaged the assets and here we are today. No PP point man for the first unit. No true winger for Kes to have success and have the complete focus taken off the twins/Burr. Instead,Gilligan focused on third liners and NTC's.
  5. Player selection and management is a serious problem.I have been consistent with that mantra for two years now.
  6. This is the third,consecutive year the team has fallen except this year was the crash. 29th in the league in team shooting % 28th in the league in GPG 27th in the league in PP% If you don't think it can get worse,then you are an optimist because it keeps getting worse each and every year. This year was such a crash it is likely the team reverts back to the mean next year-make the playoffs and get bounced early. There has to be corporate change ,not just insert a coach that screams at veterans.
  7. Bobby Luo had become a cancer.Undermining your boss time and again is not the wisest choice of conduct and yet in the end he went where he wanted to go and retire. The Sedins are this team and will be back leading this team next season. Top eight in the entire NHL in December and now they have done nothing for the franchise. Management has to support them with a viable NHL second line not named Kes-Kes-Kes.
  8. Difference being AV is a career coach.Hand the reigns to Gilman is how this can end with some dignity.
  9. AV allowed them to be accountable to one another.I guess Kes sees the wisdom in that ........ now.
  10. Instead of looking up to Dallas and Phoenix it is time to look down to Nashville and Winnipeg.
  11. Bill,if you think the Canucks are even getting into the playoffs you can't entertain the thought of a good pick helping this team in the future.By the looks of things this team is going to need all the help it can get.
  12. Except he was offered Bieksa money and Bieksa put up 22 points in the same year Christian put up 50. Essentially,Gillis never made him a legitimate, decent offer and chose to push him out or cut him loose.
  13. Good post but don't agree with Ballard assessment.Ballard came in coming off hip surgery and was pressed into action too soon. Four games in to his contract in Vancouver he suffered a concussion.He struggled after that. Then he suffered an MCL knee injury that was rumoured to require surgery before the cup run. Back injury in November the following year followed by another,second concussion. In his last season he suffered a broken foot. We all remember a healthy Keith,coming to the aid of his team mates game after game,tough in the corners and in front of the net,good with the puck and a hip check any d man would like to have. Unfortunately,Gillis took another injured player,paid maximum in salary and youth and never got a decent return from the trade.
  14. The day he was traded they were still $1m apart.The .org came out the morning of the trade saying they would do anything to keep Sami and he was gone by noon. I don't buy the two year deal excuse the .org trotted out. They weren't prepared to pay him and Sami went to live in the sun with his buddy,instead.
  15. The owner is not eating more of Gillis' bad decisions,is my guess,nor should he. How you don't sign Salo for the extra million and overpay for Garrison WITHOUT replacing the puck moving strengths and abilities that both Ehrhoff and Salo brought to the transition game and first and second unit PP is beyond me. What a mess Gillis created with his ineptitude.
  16. This is the Canucks forum:Save St. Louis,have not beaten one contending team since 2013. Have not won three games in a row in the last three months. 27th pp in the league. 28th in team shooting %. 28th in goals per game. You want a cup and not a draft pick. Good luck with that.
  17. Luigi might have a word with Francesco along the lines of cutting your losses in relation to those five year deals for Mike and John.
  18. Besides St' Louis the Canucks have not beaten one contending team in 3 months. The ultimate outcome was hardly in question.
  19. Chump,I certainly hope you get with the program soon as you are a sore loser.It reads 44 and 0. You obviously haven't been around for long enough to understand the drivel. See you next year.I was born and raised in B.C..
  20. It's admirable that you are a diehard fan but other ,realistic fans that did the math weeks ago have endured you.See how it is? Yet,I don't call you names.Let's call it even,seeing's how I played nice fan for a few weeks while your hopeless homerism posts did the same thing to me that you blame me for.
  21. Yeah,well now you can come out of your denial.
